Re: Rip off company

Yes, but it's may have been very easy to manipulate a disabled 80 year old lady to 'agree' to this.

I knew of a man in his 80's who was persuaded at the doorstep to take VM broadband, even though he didn't have, want or need a computer. When his neighbour rang to see what they were playing at, they bid behind the Data Protection Act and refused to discuss it. This is when I became involved and got it cancelled.

I myself was cold called by Virgin Mobile and offered a mobile plan of unlimited free landline calls, unlimited free texts, free VM to VM mobile calls and unlimited data.

They themselves said only the other day that these foreign call centres will say anything to get a sale and that he probably lied. I was told that 95% of complaints are about these people and they are going to retrieve the recording to see where we go from here.
